Non-essential changes

What are some minor things you would like to see implemented in the future?

Personally I would love to see each race have unique combat stances similar to what Roe gets for lancer/marauder. For healers, I would love the ability to cast spells with your weapon still sheathed, which I believe could be done in 1.0. Additionally, I think more weapon-drawn /cpose stances would be nice.

I wouldn't mind seeing some more practical looking gear similar to older leveling gear as well. I would kill for a nice plain double headed axe for warrior, or elbow length fist wraps for monks.

The ability to see if members of your FC log in or not.

The ability to see if any new members join.

The ability to send tells in dungeons.

Not major, it would be nice to welcome new members when you're running through a dungeon.

(Someone is going to tell me you can already do this and I'm going to feel like the biggest goof).

Being able to dye the Dreadwyrm weapons from Coils.

These are already things that happen... maybe you adjusted your settings somewhere and no longer get the Messages.

My chat log displays a message anytime an FC member logs in or out, purchases/demolishes rooms, does something with airships/submarines. A message is displayed when new recruits join, or ppl leave as well.

In addition, most of these activities are tracked in the FC's Activity tab, and I can see how long it's been since the last time a member logged out as well in the Members tab.


However, part of me would kind of like the option to set log in / log out notifications for LinkShells / Friends List as well. Even though my shells all have a typical focus (Hunts, PvP, Social), there are some players that I do additional activities with so it'd be nice to know when they log in.

More cultural armors that are just for glamour. Not just race armor but also culture within that race.
Taking the cats as an example, the moon cats and the sun cats have different cultures, so why not give them caster, healer, range, melee, and tank armors that reflect their culture better. Would flesh out the lore somewhat while also giving us some sweet glamour. Of course I think this should be for all the races, just taking the cats since I play one.

I probably did and never noticed...biggest goof confirmed. :P

They need to stop with getting sidetracked by nonessential changes and actually focus on things that have gotten worse over the five years this particular version of the game has been in service.

The ludicrous barrier to entry in the form of the MSQ would be a good one to start with, and skip potions are no solution.

On the topic of a change they could make with the flick of a switch, unsynced runs should not award completion or drops.

Being able to change color of the scales and horns to my au ra.

I don't necessarily disagree, there are just many threads about it already.

I think that would be really cool to expand on their cultures. There is a lot of potential to showcase lore stuff that I hope the implement someday.

The ability to 'flip' hairstyles and outfits so the asymmetrical part can be on the opposite side.

Also, being able to attach different hairstyles to different outfits and switch through them easily like with glamour plates (also while I'm at it, please make it so we can apply glamour plates everywhere, I need this change).

While I agree with the part about MSQ and jump potions, I disagree about unsynced runs not awarding completion or drops.

I've yet to farm Extreme ARR/HW primals for mounts. I'm planning on doing these unsynced solo/duo.

Don't see, why after I've taken the time to get to max level and geared up, not to take advantage of that.

From the sprout who was once worried about taking on normal Ifrit, to the seasoned veteran who's slayed multiple primals, multiple times and has the level and gear to show for it. To me that gives me the sense that my character has grown stronger.

I can understand people doing synced runs for the challenge and they probably should add achievements and rewards for that.

What's your reasoning?

I half agree with what van_arn said...I think only the FIRST time should be synced. That way people have a basic understanding of it, since it is still fairly often that you get an extreme primal(typically only the ARR ones oddly enough) when queuing for Mentor Roulette. Drops definitely should not be locked behind synced runs only.

I'd be fine with unsynced dropping loot if and only if to get into it unsynced you had to clear it synced first.

That said, the primal mounts would mean a lot more if people had to actually do them at-level. As they are now, they're a waste of time to farm.

I can't agree with that Van_arn. They are worth the time to farm for the people who want it. SE made it that if you did it at Minimum IL you get a higher drop rate, but I'd rather run it over and over again easily with a lower drop rate on my own or with as few people as possible who may also want the drop. Now Achievements, I would see that as reasonable to make you clear it at level to get the achievement for clearing. But the way the achievement system is at the moment, I couldn't care less.

Back to the topic of this thread I like to see how my stats like critical hit effect my % in () next to the stat. Its not necessary but I feel it wouldn't hurt to have a little more information when min maxing my gear.

A macro command to change my chocobo companion's barding.

I would like a dyable "fluffy chocobo" kind of barding, where the barding would add extra feathers/fluff to them, so they look more like ff8/ff10/ff13 chocobos (FF14 chocobos look so bald in comparison).

change eye and skin color at barber.

The only issues I could see with Miqo'te specifically (and Aura as well with Xaela) is you have so many tribes with unique quirks and customs. Keepers are fairly unified since they are all from the Twelve's Woods, but Seeker's clans are literally scattered all over the planet.

Ability to unsheathe weapons while mounted

Eyewear gear slot

Idle animations for SCH fairies

Yeti mount

Sirensong Sea orchestrion roll

Knee length skirts for healers

Increase Glamour Plates up to 20

As well as pants for healers.

I just want transfers apartment rooms from ward to ward without having to throw everything to my storeroom. This would be great for me who just relocated to Shirogane and I want my apartment room to move to the same ward too.

Guesting in the open world on other servers within the same datacenter. (think wow, or gw2)
Being from balmung, I rarely get an opportunity to play with friends who want to start playing for the first time. :<

I'd rather see them wasting time on other stuff than putting it into another great content like eureka.

I'd like to be able to place custom markers on my map. Even if it were limited to ten or so per area it would be nice, but ideally what would make me happy would be the ability to label what I want where I want to my hearts content.

One other thing I'd enjoy is an emote that allows me to fall asleep while sitting, without suddenly waking up again. Something like "doze" but persistent.

An alternate companion of some sort would be fun, although that probably isn't a minor thing. I love my bird but it would be a nice change of pace to have another option.

yes, again, a proper looped /sleep is needed in our emote library.
No it's not close enough to /pdead.
and /pdead is in some ways more risque than a simple /sleep emote (lookin' at you male lalafels)

It's time we get a basic, standard emote in this game.

I made an entire thread but I'll say it here:

Job /cpose should be unlocked. It's not right that some iconic poses like Kaine's Dragoon pose or Cecil's Paladin pose are locked behind gender.

Remove that restriction. Let me catgirl do the Kaine pose.

1.Changing eye color in aesthetics.

2. New face paint in aesthetics

3. Less spiky and or feminine hairstyles. Give out more variety, please.

4. No more NPC glamour gear and hairstyles in Mogstation. Please add them into the game as unisex in-game rewards.

5. No more giant Fate wagon areas like Eureka and Diadem, please. If your going to keep trying to do this, at least give Amy's more ways to fight and explore special places like those instead of spam kill the same enemy over and over again until your desired Fate pops up and then rinse repeat...

6. No more flying mounts in new expansion areas. Flying mounts should have just stayed within Heavensward expansion and certain special areas outside of it. It would have been nice if Othard better utilized the underwater travel feature. It would have also been nice to if Ala Mhigi had its own unique form of transportation, too...

7. Bring back the Veteran Reward System, please.

8. No more random flying mounts. After seeing my Imperial Horse fly for the first time, I immediately understood why people felt so irked by the Elephant mount flying a few months ago. If your going to make mounts fly, PLASE only make ones that actually have or can have the ability to fly do so. I can't even wrap my head around how a Behmoth can fly. XD

9. More Final Fantasy crossover events, please.
-Final Fantasy 15
- Final Fantasy 9, 10 and 12 Remasters
- Final Fantasy 7 Remake
- Final Fantasy 13 Lightning Returns
- Final Fantasy Dissidia NT

See alot of potential making all these into nice little events.

10. Allow us to apply whatever song we want to our mounts, please. If you all are not going to give us different songs to each new mount added to the game then at least let us change it ourselves.

This is off topic because it's maximum essential

BUT WHERE IS MAH NIER CROSS OVER EVENT??! DX

Craft from retainer inventory!

(Although arguably this would be considered essential.)

Also queue for multiple roulettes at once.

I'm still willing to sell my soul for a damn "tend all" button for Gardening.

Also, the ability to tell whether you already have an orchestrion roll in your record when attempting to buy or loot on an orchestrion roll. The number of times I've rolled on songs only to realize two seconds later I already have them claimed. :T
